Morning Ladies

@Purplepoppie... it depends on your doc... with my firstborn we got a scan at every visit and it seems this doc does the same. I think most private gynae's do a scan at every visit but government or midwives don't... Depends on who you're seeing. You have to have two scan's the throughout your pregnancy (those are the one's med aid's usually cover)..

@Nadia, i'm taking my mom to my next appt as my hubby is going to be in the UK, we're hoping to find out then as well.

Have a great day everyone!

Hi Ladies,

Hope you all have been good

Strongs to those who still suffer from the MS. Thankfully i have my appetite back, and bit of my energy. Well i have reached the 12 week mark, today i'm 12w2d. Will be going back to gynae on the 13th and maybe the doc can gave us a guess on the sex would be...

I had such a lovely weekend at Addo national Park, nice weather and all, we only came back today...

Have a nice evening
